Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches.

Rule 10 : Mounds over graves should be kept low, not exceeding four inches in height; and stone or other enclosures around graves will not be allowed.
